Wayland Town Crier 4/13/11: Sudbury rejects plans to merge transfer station with Wayland. The Sudbury Board of Selectmen Tuesday determined that the minimal cost savings to merge the transfer station with Wayland would not be worth what Sudbury would lose in terms of quality. By a 2-0 vote, with Chairman John Drobinski absent, the board decided to end the eight-month experiment, effective July 1, and possibly sooner if Wayland agrees. Last September, Wayland and Sudbury instituted a joint pilot project, with the intent to save money, allowing residents from both towns to use the transfer station in either town on different days. The stations are located within a quarter of a mile of each other. There were some surprises. Wayland commingles its recycled items. In Sudbury, they must be sorted. Bulky waste also differed. Sudbury charges $32 per cubic yard for bulky waste for items such as carpeting, furniture, building debris, tires, and refrigerators. Wayland has a one-time fee of $40 for bulky items. Wayland residents also liked the quality of items they found at Sudbury’s Put & Take. Sudbury also gives a senior discount; Wayland does not.
